How big is your coop?

[Brahma Chicken5000]

My henhouse is only 4’x4’ now before anyone jumps on me, my 8 pullets and hens have a large covered run and they only sleep and lay eggs in their henhouse.

We took down 3 old outbuildings here on the farm and reused all the wood and built a coop 13.5 x 11 ft. We kept it just under what would have required a building permit.
My husband did siding, roofing and window replacement for a living so we had our pick of old windows to use.
I currently have 12 chickens and 5 guineas.

I included the 30sqft of poop boards, they definitely get used as floor space.
That's 125sqft for ~30 birds in summer and ~16 in winter.

I’ve got an 8X12, a 4X4, and a 3X12 (this ones kinda wonky looking). I love this thread btw!

I have an 8' by 6' coop for 12 birds. That is more than enough birds to provide me with eggs and my friends with eggs.

84 feet of floor space + 12 feet of poop board space. Access to large yard, with shade/rain structures year around.

Right now I have 11 adults or near adults and 6 chicks, and plan to go into winter with a 12 or 13 adults.

Most adult birds I've had in there? 19, for a short time. I felt it was too many. Didn't like the poop load or roost time squabbling. 16 is my "comfortable max" and 12 is better.

I've got a few coops for various birds.
A small 4 x 4 coop that I use for several purposes. Mainly for growing out spring chicks fresh from the brooder. They spend a week or two in it, then are released to forage with the fully grown hens. After that, they only sleep in there. I also use this same coop for broody mamas.
My main chicken coop is just under 6 x 8. I have three standard hens, a Bantam rooster and five Bantam hens. They sleep in there only and free range over a couple acres.
Main duck hoop coop is 16 x 8. Currently housing 11 ducks. They sleep in there only.
My three call ducks have a huge dog house that they sleep in. It's way too big for them but this allows me add more in the future.

My bantam coop is 8x10. My big shed is 40x40.

I have a matching coop and turkey house about 15 square feet each in a 8x30 run. I have 6 juvenile chickens and 3 turkey poults outside, 15 silkies in the indoor playpen, and 6 new chicks (amerecauna ie easter eggers) in the brooder box. will add coop space as needed once we determine how many are staying as pets, layers, etc.

Current coop is a 4x8 walk-in coop
